SCOTT #4080-83 BASEBALL SLUGGERS 39 CENT

     Nicknamed "Campy", Roy Campanella  (1921-1993) hit 242 home runs during his 10 year career with the Brooklyn Dodgers, the famous "Boys of Summer". A three-time National League MVP, he was also the first black catcher in the history of Major League Baseball.
     Hank Greenberg (1911-1986) is remembered as one of the all-time greatest right-handed batters. During his time with the Detroit Tigers, "Hammerin Hank" led the American League in home runs and in RBI four times each, and he was twice named Most Valuable Player.
     Known for his unusual high leg kick batting stance, Mel Ott (1909-1958) distinguished himself with the New York Giants for 22 seasons. Ott was the first National League player to hit 500 home runs, and he led the league in homers six times.
     Synonymous with the New York Yankees for nearly two decades, switch hitter Mickey Mantle (1931-1995) hit 536 home runs, including a record 18 in World Series play. A three-time American League MVP, he won the triple crown in 1956.

SCOTT #3378 PACIFIC COAST RAIN FOREST 33 CENT

     Temperate rain forest stretches along the Pacific coast from northern California to the Gulf of Alaska. Characterized by the occurrence of Sitka spruce, this ecosystem typically occupies a relatively narrow strip between the ocean and the mountains. The climate is mild and very wet--average annual precipitation ranges from 80 to 160 inches. Summer fogs are common and intense winter storms bring large amounts of rain and strong winds.

                      

SCOTT #4197 JAMES STEWART 41 CENT

     Actor James Stewart (1908-1997) is remembered as the hero in classic American movies such as Mr. Smith Goes To Washington (1939), The Philadelphia Story (1940) and Rear Window (1954). His naturalistic acting style, lanky physique, and slow drawling speech made seem more real than other movie stars, though his performances were in fact carefully planned. His numerous films include Destry Rides Again (1939), Harvey (1950), The Glenn Miller Story (1954), and a sentimental holiday favorite, It's a Wonderful Life (1946)

                       

SCOTT #4198 ALPINE TUNDRA 41 CENT

     Alpine tundra begins above the tree line (upper limit of tree growth) in high mountain areas such as the Rockies. In this environment, snow covers much of the landscape until spring, and temperatures can be chilly even in summer.
